if doug mashdash2138 doesn't hit well he's gone by the all-star break

he just has to be league average and he'll stick around

I've heard people say that his defense has gone a bit down hill. Not sure how true it is.

Defense is extremely hard to measure. Even the SABR guys don't have a great metric for it.

That said from everything I've heard Doug Mxchxhczch's defense isn't as good as it used to be, but it's still very very good

ya i know its really hard to measure with stats, you actually gotta watch

No obsessive yankee fans here that have watched every spring training game?

I've watched a lot of games but I am no evaluator of defensive talent. He looks good I guess.

wow, 1 inning into the season, and Pavano's ERA is 0.00, while ARod has 1 E, and is coming up with 2 on.

god, i hope he smacks this ball into monument park.

edit : strikes out. and here come the boos. f*cking haters.
